Media and Guide for installation of NetWeaver BW 7.3

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need some help regarding the installation of NetWeaver BW 7.3 on my local machine.

I'm going to set up an development environment for BW 7.3 and my intention is to install this on a virtual machine. I would like to install a dual stack of NetWeaver (Both APAP and Java)

The issues im facing are:

1. Which media should I use from SAP Support Central? I have access to download software but I cant really find out which zip-files I should use.

2. Does anyone have a installation guide on how to install NetWeaver BW 7.3 step-by-step (Searched the forum and there's many instructions out there but perhaps you could recommend a best-practice.

3. Which OS on the virtual machine do you recommend? Linux or Microsoft Windows Server?

Thank you for you support and help

Regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

There won't be any separate installation guide for SAP Bi. You need to follow the Netweaver 7.3 installation guide and activate the BI_CONT.

1. BI is basically SAP Netweaver 7.3 (EHP1) + the Bi content and Bi Content extention add-on on it. You can download them from SAP Marketplace.

I would like to install a dual stack of NetWeaver (Both APAP and Java)

This is not recommended and its not available anymore, you'll need to install ABAP and Java separately.

2. As I mentioned before you can use the Installation guide for SAP Netweaver 7.3 as BI is an add-on.

3. You can install it on both. I'll go for Linux, but its your choice really.
